2795 South Roosevelt Drive Seaside, OR
Bar food is rarely as good as it is at the Relief Pitcher, a roadhouse in south Seaside. I’d been hearing about the food for years, but had somehow never been.
Oyster shooters got things off to a great start.
The small oysters are extremely fresh, and the house cocktail sauce –boldly spiced with more horseradish than I usually encounter – is among the best I’ve come across. At $1.25 each or three for $3, the price is right. Most places charge at least $1.50, but I’ve actually seen $2 shooters before.
Crab cakes are also of great value. Just $6.75 for a pair. A dollop of chipotle mayonnaise is there for dipping, but I found the cakes great on their own, possessing enough spice to make the sauce a redundancy.
The main draws for the Relief Pitcher are the sandwiches and burgers. They don’t have any pastas, salads or steaks on their menu because they don’t need them.
